<p>In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has opened new opportunities in primary care, from diagnosis and treatment planning to patient management.<br />However, concerns about fairness, equity, and ethics in healthcare arise. This study follows PRISMA guidelines to systematically review AI applications addressing these challenges.<br />It provides insights to guide future research and inform practices in primary care. The findings highlight significant theoretical and practical advancements in AI integration but also raise ethical concerns, particularly around data privacy and algorithmic bias. AI should complement, not replace, human healthcare professionals, requiring careful implementation to balance its benefits with potential risks.</p>
